This anime is awesome. Watched the first two episodes. Go to Anilinkz .com if you want to watch from a third party site.
I enjoy the story, the plot is great and everything is razzle dazzle. One problem I have is the protagonist (Arita) which kind of annoys me since he is so small and kind of looks like the perverted Tomoki from Sora no Otoshimono.
They are kind of similar. Anyways, that is my only problem so far...
The anime and animations are pretty well done and my favourite : Kuroyukihime
Are they similar illustrator? I'm checking right now...

I'm about to risk my lives for you guys to "review"/discuss this series but the only subs available are by Hadena. Oh god, the horror.

So we have this chubby short round kid as our main character. He's bullied, has low self esteem, and practically no confidence at all. He's beta in all stances but one day the most popular, and hot, student in school asks him for a favor. Then shit happens.

Accel World has a lot of promise from the first two episodes. It has an interesting concept and takes it time developing it and explaining it throughout the course of the episode. The character designs are pretty so far and the animation visuals are gorgeous as well. The story doesn't really reveal itself in the first episode but the show takes it time building it up. The setting is by far one of the most interesting aspects of the show - a world where just about everything is worked through virtual reality. Of course, there still are mechanical architects but virtual reality is the dominant system.

It'll take time to fully grasp the story so you should stick along for maybe a total of 4 episodes. If you don't like it then, drop it or stall it.

I really enjoyed what I saw so far, pretty relative to my normal taste. I actually enjoy the fact that the character isn't so average, though I wish his net form (not Burst Brain) was different. Regardless, looking forward to more.
